The One Tun

The One Tun Pub is less than 5 minutes away from the Farrington train station that offers a direct link to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports. It's also easy to get to Windsor Castle with a connection in Slough. The rooms sit on top of the pub which can be noisy in the evening but fairly quiet later on.

Stayed one night here and wish we could have stayed longer and made more use of the beautiful clean and stunning room. We had room 8 which is 3 flights of stairs up, so wouldn’t be great with luggage. Room really well equipped, with coffee pod machine, kettle, fridge, ironing board, hairdryer, Netflix, dressing gown, slippers and more. Free water, chocolate, crisps, nuts. The most comfiest of nights sleep on a firm mattress and quality bedding. Beautiful shower. Water pressure a little low. Drinks served until 2300 and 10% discount offered on food and drink if staying. Unfortunately we were there too late for dinner but menu looked good. Check out easy- just pop the key back in the letterbox of pub next door to private door to rooms. Will definitely stay here again if in London. Near underground station and restaurants and coffee shops.

Been considering pubs with rooms for a while and enjoyed the first try here:) Literally across the street from Farringdon, with easy connection to Heathrow and other locations via tube and trains. The adequate amenities are great, better than some Marriott hotels (the days are gone when all decent hotels offer vanity kits and toothbrushes and slippers). Also love the soya “shots”. Not vegetarian, but really like the unique idea. The room is clean and nicely decorated, spacious with high ceilings (although there’s some water remaining in the kettle.) The area is bustling in the evening and quiet at night and in the morning. Mostly feels safe upstairs with a separate entrance. (Just wish the bathroom window can be locked for extra security.)

This was a decent visit before doing something else in the area. The main driver was sampling the Thai food. The chicken Rendang curry which came with rice and bread was very good and the pad Thai not too bad either (so I’m told). It was a bit strange to be charged the 12.5% service charge having ordered food at the bar, so the bill came to more than expected. Essentially I ordered two drinks at the bar with a couple of mains and the charge was added to it. To be fair the drink prices weren’t too bad for the area. A pint of Star is the best value in terms of cost and value if that happens to be your poison. The staff weren’t overly friendly either, but assisted with retrieving a lost item down a drain during the visit so that claws back a pint or two. The food and booze were nice and good value. Perhaps just more friendliness and transparency about extra costs would go a long way. Still scrapes a 4/5 by the width of a Rizla paper.
